Today in Texas history
Texas Declares Independence from Mexico, Becomes Republic

By Bandera Spirits of Texas

On March 2, 1836, Texas became a republic. On March 1 delegates from the 17 Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico.
George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution.
After 58 members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.
